Frequently Asked Questions

At our law firm, we understand that every family law matter is unique, which can make it difficult to predict the exact cost of your case. Many factors, including the finer details of your situation and the other party’s willingness to negotiate, can influence the amount of work needed to resolve your matter and the overall cost. However, you can trust that our experienced team will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.

Family law matters are generally listed in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA) in Sydney. The Sydney FCFCOA is located at Lionel Bowen, Building, 97/99 Goulburn St, Sydney NSW 2001, conveniently also within walking distance from Central, Museum and Town Hall stations.
